Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

I find out what is their goal. I need to know what is their past experience with horses. Do they have any fears? Have they had any bad experiences. How far have they gone with their lessons.

I start all students in a dressage seat which is simply lowering the stirups some and riding in a forward seat because this promotes good balance and it is safer. On their first lesson I teach them how to control an out of control horse with the one rein stop procedure. I also teach them how to prevent a horse from bolting. These two lessons are for the riders safety.

The first time they ride I evaluate their abilities. I can teach all styles of riding, Western, Jumping, English.

I also teach the Freestyle Join-up method which is good for working with difficult horses which is done in a round pen.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I started lessons at age 14 learning English and Jumping. I continued my studies at Meredith Manor, an equine college in West Virginia. I majored in horse training and after graduation I started work in Ocala, Fl. training yearlings.Several years later I moved and started my own horse training business and giving riding lessons.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?

Look for someone who has some time under their belt so to speak'....it gives them much more experience . I myself still go to clinics and seminars to this day to continue learning.

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?

I strongly believe good communication helps lead to sucsess! If you are feeling a bit timid or you have had a bad experience you can ask what can I do to help you work through it.In which case I have several methods I work with .
